Slowred and I went out for another of our little exploration rides this weekend.

Here's the video:

I can't understand why nobody wanted to join us...

When I planned this ride I actually called it, "High Ambition". The plan was to go UP the 202 Trail, called Bull Road, come down the Bradshaw Trail and then ride a section of Arrastra Creek that neither of us has done before. We didn't make it. But we did ride up 202!

The first part of 202 could actually be called a "road". It's 2-track and it's not too difficult as far as dirtbike trails go. Then you get here.

The Gladiator Fire in the Bradshaw Mountains last year caused a lot of landscape changes. We followed the tracks on the GPS and occasionally picked up one other set of moto tracks through the rocks and downed trees. Huge amounts of water rushed through the washes so fast and with such force after the fires that any small trees were washed away or bent over and pointing downstream.

Some of the trees were not forgiving!

After fighting our way through the trees we came up this off-camber rock face.

Only to end up here.

The rock face was the easy option. The other option, through the small gap, had bit of a step and the rock was greased up with algae.
